First, fill out the "Application Form for Replacement of Motor Vehicle License Plates and Certificates" Present the identity documents of the vehicle owner and the agent. After completing the loss report, to apply for a replacement vehicle license, you also need to submit a standard photo of the vehicle.
When my vehicle license was lost, I was extremely anxious and quickly inquired about the procedure. The first step is to report the loss at the local traffic police station. Bring your ID card to file a report, and they will issue a loss certificate to prevent others from misusing the document. This step is crucial; otherwise, if someone finds it and drives your car, causing an accident, it would be troublesome. Then, gather the necessary materials: the original ID card, a copy of the vehicle registration certificate, and a few one-inch photos. Next, go to the vehicle management office to fill out an application form for a replacement license. The entire process takes a few days and costs around a hundred yuan, which isn’t expensive, but you’ll need to make two trips. So, I suggest asking a friend to drive you there to save on taxi fare. During this period, avoid driving on the road; if caught, the fine of one or two hundred yuan would be painful. After getting the replacement, remember to regularly check the condition of your documents.
